Is Your iPhone 3G body "cut" wrong??? Question about plastic...

Hello,

hope everyone is enjoying their iphone 3g...

first off.. im really picky about the things i buy...

here is my question...

I bought an iphone 3g and i noticed that where the plastic and metal meet(on the side of the phone)... it seems like there aligned incorrectly... When i rub my finger or hold it to make a call, i can feel a very small piece of plastic, pop out.

I went back to the apple store and the manager seemed to know what i was talking about and he said that "its the way that the iphone was cut" and that people have been coming back and he says what he felt "was consistent" to others...

He said i could return it but the one i would get would be the same due to the way they were produced.

anyone else have that same issue.

i know its pretty petty.

yea i do , i was wondering the same.. Its a little rough down one side. But i've realized that there are no such things as perfect iphones...if u dont have one issue , you will have another. If its not the case , its the screen, if its not the screen , its the battery. The way i see it , if the only complaint that i have is that one side is a little rough , then im in good shape. Cause my screen is awesome, the battery lasts forever and lately my reception has been acting normal! so you win some and lose some.... if thats your only complaint...take it as a blessing

Mine seems perfect. But I wouldn't know unless you have a picture. Maybe you're much more particular than I am.

bud... i just checked mine. on the RIGHT side with the phone facing front, i do feel a very slight misalignment with the plastic coming out. i wouldn't have known if you didn't tell me though. did you check the display 3g iphones to see if they had the same problem?

Sure crypto... I text like a mad man. Thanks for sure , mayb 500 a day sent , if not more . I talk on it a decent amount , but by no means 20 min conversations , i'm a firm believer that if you need to talk for more that 5 mins , ill just see you in person. Other wise , i use the web very occasionally , with 3g and wireless , the longest periods straight i would say , 20 mins ... and the shortest 5 mins ( checking the cubs score!!!) . So i mean i use the thing quite fequently , normal everyday use... and i've had the battery last for the whole day , if not almost 2 whole days...

I swear on my life... I have no reason to lie. I'm not here to mis-inform anyone. I'm here to give the best info i can , about things that i kno, not things that i dont. I only toss my hat in the ring if i know what im talking about. Like i said , i do text alot , alot alot. Talk mayb if i had to give you a ball park number... mayb 30 mins .. of actual talk time, but the internet , i really cant give a ball park est because the time im on it flexes depending if i need to use it or not... i only the net on it when i'm looking for something , i dont search aimlessly .. so i mean , thats what i got... I read hofo on it , for mayb 5-15 mins at a time. ( to keep up on all the info) and i check the cubs updates , but thats about it... like i said crypto..i have no reason to lie i've been honest and i try to b as clear in what i say , my posts and threads that i create , the same... y would i give mis-info to the people that help me out , doesnt make any sense
